Woodbridge, New Jersey

Commonly considered the “Crossroads of New Jersey” due to the convergence of major roadways including the Garden State Parkway, New Jersey Turnpike, Highways 1 & 9, and Route 18 within its borders, Woodbridge is a prime location for DWI checkpoints and traffic violations. Additionally, Woodbridge is home to one of the largest New Jersey State Police barracks. These factors contribute to the Woodbridge Municipal Court’s reputation as perhaps the busiest in the entire state for handling DWI charges.
